I think the criticisms here have been over gogaddy's business
practises, and not the fact that they donated $10k.
Godaddy *SHOULD NOT* have taken down fyodor's list no matter how much
of an ass you believe he is. Is godaddy the new internet vcensor?
I believe he is an ass for his reaction.
I have understood thousands of passwords of people were on-line
because they were commented on his webpages. Godaddy was in the chain
of keeping them on-line and they pulled their plug immediately to
deminish the damage, they put the plug back within one hour.
Fyodor can be a hero for other reasons, in this case he misused his
power to damage Godaddy and we hear nothing about what I presume the
fact, that privacy of thousands of people were at risk because of his
site sending copies of their logins to anyone who asked for it.
Godaddy was in the chain and reacted. I don't maintain websites with
free publishing possibilities for unknown people, he did and this is
what he risks with it.
This is comparable to the firebrigade that ruins your door because
they want to stop a fire.
